WBRC has obtained traffic camera video from Interstate 459 from the moment it is believed that Carlee Nichole Russell disappeared.
A $25,000 reward is being offered in exchange for any information about her disappearance or whereabouts. Anyone with information is asked to call Hoover Police Department at 205-444-7562. You can also call Crime Stoppers at 205-254-7777 to remain anonymous.
Police say Carlee got off work last night at around 8:20 p.m. from a business at The Summit and is believed to have stopped to pick up food from a restaurant at The Colonnade before traveling toward Hoover on I-459 where she stopped near mile marker 11 between the Galleria flyover and Exit 10.
The family says they are staying positive and trusting God their daughter will be brought home safely.
Talitha Russell said the last time she spoke with her daughter Carlee was around 9:18 Thursday night when she left Taziki’s after picking up food and was headed home.
The US Department of Justice reports the Ashanti Alert Act became law at the end of 2018. It’s named in honor of Ashanti Billie, a 19 year-old who was abducted and killed in Virginia in 2017. The DOJ says the law established a voluntary nationwide network to help with search and recovery for those missing between 18 and 65.
It doesn’t guarantee every state will have a plan established to respond with an alert in these cases. Their website reads: “The National Ashanti Alert Network does not accept reports of missing adults, but is a link to the state, territorial, and tribal area to share missing adult information to assist in the location and investigation of that individual.”
Many will remember Aniah Blanchard, a 19-year-old who was abducted and murdered in 2019. Her mom Angela Harris tells WBRC Fox 6 that she’s working closely with the family of Carlee Russell and says Alabama needs to utilize something like the Ashanti Alert.
